The forum of Labour Party council chairmanship aspirants from the Abuja Municipal Area Councils (AMAC) have paid a solidarity visit to the Labour Party National Transition Committee (LP-NTC) chaired by Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar.
The visit, which took place in the Nation’s Capital, Abuja, aimed to pledge their loyalty and support to the NTC, urging party loyalists across the country to do the same.
Speaking during the visit, Dr. Kingsley Okoronkwo, spokesman for the delegation, lauded the integrity, hard work, and sincerity of the Omar-led leadership, stating that it represents the solution for the party’s rebirth and emancipation from its tainted recent past under the defunct leadership of Barr. Julius Abure.
Okoronkwo maintained that the AMAC forum’s support for the NTC is crucial in achieving the party’s widely desired transparent state congresses and all-inclusive national convention within the shortest feasible timeframe.
Receiving the delegation, Comrade Tony Akeni, chairman of the NTC Media and Publicity Sub-committee, commended their courage in stepping out of the “dark page” of the party’s defunct leadership and urged all Labour Party members to emulate their example.
Akeni who described the visit as “very symbolic,” stated that it marks the end of Abure’s “bunker of dissidents” and sends a strong signal to Labour Party members nationwide that there is only one true and lawful authority of the Labour Party, which is the NTC.
Addressing the visiting forum, Comrade Omar, refuted claims perpetuated by the past leadership, emphasizing the NLC’s constitutional and court-affirmed stakeholder role in the Labour Party.
He explained that the NLC conducts its stakeholder role in the party through the NLC Political Commission, ensuring separation from its general labour union mandates.
Omar urged the aspirants to enlighten the public about the NLC’s lawful inputs in the party and warned against Abure’s continued attempts to scam and defraud party members.
He reassured affected members that suspensions carried out by Abure after his tenure terminated are null and void, confirming that Abure himself remains suspended from the party.
While warning that accomplices of Abure’s destabilization mission, crimes, and anarchy in the party will face harsh consequences, Omar stressed that the visit demonstrates the growing support for the NTC and its efforts to achieve transparent state congresses and an all-inclusive national convention.
He said as the party moves forward, the solidarity and pledge of loyalty from the FCT members is a strong pointer to the urgent need for Party members nationwide to unite behind the NTC.
Meanwhile, the delegation included Dr. Tobias Obiechina, Hon. Ephraim Haruna, Hon. Shekwaga Anyisa, and Hon. Nnoso Okeke, among others. Their visit marks a significant milestone in the party’s journey towards rebirth and emancipation from its tainted recent past.
